What it is

The Tektronix THS 720 P is a handheld battery-operated oscilloscope and digital multimeter combination instrument.[2][1]

The THS 720 P belongs to the TekScope THS 700 series and is the model in that group aimed at electrical and power electronics measurements.[2][1]

How it works

The THS 720 P combines a two-channel real-time oscilloscope with a true RMS digital multimeter in one portable instrument.[1][2]

The THS 720 P supports scope and meter operation at the same time on the same or separate signals.[1]

The THS 720 P provides oscilloscope trigger modes and trigger types that include edge, pulse, video, and external triggering, along with waveform math functions and storage for waveforms and meter screenshots.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

The THS 720 P is used to verify circuits, check power-supply behavior, examine floating measurements, and analyze motor-drive and power-quality signals in equipment under test.[1][4]

Applications

The THS 720 P is intended for field or bench electronic troubleshooting, floating system measurements, industrial electronic equipment troubleshooting, and power quality surveys.[1][4]

The THS 720 P supports power-related analysis features that include harmonic analysis, power measurements with statistics, and PWM motor drive triggering.[1][4]
